The department organised its first worksheet competition for teacher trainees in Autumn 2023. The aim of the competition is to encourage trainees to nurture their creativity and develop materials which they can use in their private lessons, and later in group settings, thereby contributing to their life-long professional development. 

In each term, the jury consists of the methodology tutors of the department and ELT professionals working for IATEFL-Hungary (now TESOL-Hungary). 

Special Christmas edition

The period leading up to Christmas may be quite taxing for our students but we are well aware of how many of them are huge fans of Christmas. So we decided to launch a special, small-scale Christmas worksheet competition, where trainees had to design a lesson centred around a Christmas song of their choice. We received some incredibly well-designed worksheets. 

Congratulations to our winners!

1st Place: Penderich Janka - How can we be sunshines

2nd Place: Huba Lili - Merry Christmas, Everyone

3rd Place: Aiym Ussenova: All I want for Christmas is...
